Gil Mazzi: Third Ear Sound Company.
I co-owned and operated a large sound
company in the Bay area from 1975-1981 and worked a lot of shows with many Bay
Area acts and the HDRD. They were one of the premier LIVE acts in the Bay Area
and stole the show from many headliners as their music was so powerful and
their stage presence so strong. I never felt that they were able to put in the
can what they could do live. Some shows they were set up for double drummers
and Hambone would switch from guitar to the drums and rip off his shirt and do
a drum solo with his fingers!! Boots some nights would blow flames out of his
sax on some real hot solos. I can still hear "Safecracker" playing in my head.
Not only were they great musicians they were a great group of people to be with
and their audiences loved them (what a cool name and once you heard them you
were a fan). Great sound and good memories from this group.
